โฆ Synopsis
The stabilization problem for selected relative equilibria of an underactuated rigid body, modelling a simple underwater vehicle, moving in an ideal uid is addressed. State feedback control laws achieving local asymptotic stability of a forward motion and of a diving=rising with forward=reverse motion are proposed. The control design exploits the Hamiltonian nature of the system to be controlled and it is based on the so-called interconnection and damping assignment (IDA) procedure. Simulation results complete the work.

The paper deals with the global stabilization of both the attitude and the angular velocities of an underactuated rigid body. First a stability theorem is proven for a class of systems; subsequently, the equations describing the physics of the rigid body are presented, showing that the rigid body be
